Description
Hands around the hilt, grippinglike muscles holding bones.
My voice is the boom
in the cold, electric metal cuts
through the air, burning—its edge
tempered in the Styx.
I have taken it into myself—
or it has taken me, by force,
its will dominating. I bow low,
prostrated before its majesty.
I cut away the word, the world,
slashing, hacking, flailing, railing
against everything.
I open my mouth, throat expanding,
I scream thunder into the void.
Gut burning, churning, roiling,
I vomit fire, molten metal rage.
I drink in the light;
it falls down throat,
scorching all my insides
like cyanide, leaving nothing
but a burnt-out hollow, filled
with charcoal shadows—
You can see them behind my eyes.
